For us,the sartorial community,was a true joy seeing you two guys together!we are proud of you

Actual conversation with adults not yelling and screaming at one another. How refreshing and enlightening!!

Hugo Jacomet smoking a cigar? Say less. One thing I love about Kirby is his love for cigars and I'm glad he doesn't shy away from sharing that passion with everyone he knows.

"Ladies and gentlemen, beauty is not something on the side". Powerful ending. This was very inspirational.

"There's too much clothing" - whenever I find myself in a department store I'm always amazed at how much clothing there is, just a random collection of poorly made garments with no cohesive theme, and most of them will never sell. It's a very strange business to me.

Wow! Kirby and Hugo together. Two legends...

What a treat for all the subscribers here to the both of you . I certainly enjoy the conversation . We are the beneficiaries , thank you for helping Make the world more beautiful one best dressed man at a time . 🎉 😊

WOW! This really opened my eyes to Kirby's sophistication and depth of thought. Love this! Thank you.

2 Gentlemen sharing their experiences and passion for the old lost world and getting it back on track. In a world of mass produced goods which sell due to their brand campaigns, you guys are showing how to appreciate and respect the craftsmanship. Thankyou 🙌🏼

Between Hugo Jacomet’s books and their respective channels, I have learned and discovered so much about craftsmanship and tailoring. It has influenced my choices and have been responsible for many of my sartorial choices in my journey. From my first made to measure shoes and suits and now finally bespoke garments, accessories and shoes; the craftsmen I have met are largely thanks to these two gentlemen.

Two humble geniuses just sharing about their sartorial journeys.

i do hope that this is only the beginning of many collaborations between you two Gentlemen. Thank you both !

Great conversation between two inspirational figures of the sartorial world! Can't wait to see you and Kirby on your walking tours of London and Naples!

Wonderful chat gents, have been watching Kirby for awhile now and his ‘content’ is second to none. Power to him for his taste and tenacity. Just writing this as you comment on the counter culture aspect of quality goods. Definitely something there I think. Quality not always being measured by price, but the craftsmanship , the materials used, along with longevity and value. Gets my vote and hard earned. Power to ya Kirby and Hugo… and us followers 👍

I can see Kirby Allison picking up quite a few new subscribers from this video as they are practically on par when it comes to bespoke as well as love of quality. Great to see these two gents together. Kirby's hangers are still in the New York Times as part of a best hangers list for 2023. Reading some of Kirby's posts on StyleForum from 2008. :)

Kirby is a revolutionary, I know many people through their KZfaq comments whose lives have changed because of this gentleman. Thanks for the wonderful chat!

Hugo, your statements at the end were inspiring. It feels like the western world has forgotten what beauty is. Beauty for the sake of beauty makes life worth living. Cheers, Louis.

I love the interactions between channels and specialties. Watches, shoes, fragrance, etc. There is so much to learn and share with each other when collaborating.

What an amazing and exquisite video, to hear Mr. Hugo speak with such love and passion is simply unique, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ for sharing this moment.

I am quite glad that gentlemen like Hugo and Kirby still exist in this world of fast fashion. Cheers to you Hugo and Sonia!

Gentlemen, thank you for sharing this wonderful conversation. I simply cannot wait to see your tours of Naples and London.

The two Finest Gentlemen ever. Good to see this. Thank you 🙏

After watching this video the 2nd time , no cigar but a glass of bourbon 🥃 i sense a real passion and Friendship , appreciating one’s contribution in this Sartorial space and time for each other’s work . I do hope you follow through on another joint venture in menswear both in Italy and in London that would be wonderful . I believe a lot of folks would be interested in that. I really enjoyed how you guys met in your history and your backgrounds that was more than I imagined and I must say I underestimated the both of you . Your efforts are legendary . I must admit in our hectic world this sartorial journey that I’ve been on has been a nice diversion and fun endeavor and worthwhile time in my life and it would not be possible if it wasn’t for folks like you two and others on KZfaq who are like minded 🥳thank you 🤩

Fantastic podcast. And you’re right, the permanence of a suit is refreshing and appealing in a fast changing, digitally transforming world where everything is old the day after.

This Knowledge Is True Instruction; And Leads To A Plethora of Understanding; To What I Perceive Is Top Quality Within This Field.

Beautiful, I am certainly looking forward for your future collaboration. Well done good souls, God bless.

Very impatient to see Kirby in Napoli and Hugo in London !

That collaboration would be amazing. As always, thanks for sharing your experiences in this beautiful world.

Some stuff from Kirby just arrived for me today! I could listen to these two talk forever

Oh, I didn't realize Hugo is a born again Christian! Cheers to fellow believer in Christ, brother Hugo!

Hugo and Kirby are both true gentlemen, something the world needs more of these days.

What a joy to listen to you both talk about your passions! Elegance-by-choice is definitely a transgressive movement. Thank you, Hugo and Kirby!

Excellent collaboration between my two favorite sartorial influencers!

Amazing Conversation, so much to learn from these Gentlemen. You are an Institution in yourself.

Only now do I find your wonderful channel. I was always interested in Kirby's background and his life story. Thank you for sharing this conversation! Merci bien.

So far that's one of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen. The manner in which it was done was brilliant, the subjects were incredibly interesting and it was just pure pleasure to watch and listen. Thank you!

Kirby said “it”, growing up void of meaning. A return to quality & tradition I too believe is trying to find its way back to the U.S. you guys are setting a standard gentlemen. Congratulations

Hugo I found you through Kirbys channel You sir are a badass. Style class personality amazing

I’m just getting in to the sartorial world after deciding I wanted a bespoke suit for my wedding. So glad I found you gentlemen!

This was a treat. Cant wait on your collaboration 😍

Very inspiring talk to see how you can be successful in this space by providing so much value through this passion, as you both do so often and so well 👌

great conversation!

I don't think I've ever been able to only watch 12-14 minutes of your or Kirby's videos. I love every minute of them. You guys are the best.

“Quality, craftsmanship, and tradition” LOVE IT!!! I am new at classical style for men and so far this video has reaffirm my passion for this culture and community. Salud caballeros! 🥂

Hugo, Kirby amazing show as usual. Hugo and Kirby in Italy and London, sign me up. What an amazing series that I can't wait to see if it comes about. You are both brilliant at what you do and driven so many people including myself to better, first of my style, and second myself. Also Hugo, Sonya your books are all stunning. You make me want to go to Italy to find a tailor. Though as you say, it will be very difficult to find one who will let me in.

This is definitely one of the most sincere and captivating conversations yet I appreciate the motivation and sartorial excellence

This was an excellent episode! Thank you Hugo and Kirby 👍

I'm way too late to seeing this on day 1. However, I'm glad to have come across your content and Kirby's content. In fact, it was one of Kirby's shoe shining videos that brought me into this community (thank you, KZfaq algorithm). And, as someone of the latest generation(s) - it's a grey area, being born in 1996 - I want to ensure that as many of my purchases last; something I'm diverting away from my parents about. I must thank you two for that introduction a few years back! Hopefully one day, I'll be able to enjoy bespoke clothing the same way you all do! It's tough to do so in a more physically active field of work, and not so much opportunity at this time to dress more classically.

What an amazing conversation ..I have been the follower of Parisian Gentleman since the beginning and it was one of the main reasons why I started to dress in a suit and tie. But I feel like Kirby is correct on the fact that being dressed up is now an anti culture. And bravo to that. Keep up the good work.

It's nice and so refreshingly different to see KA get interviewed rather than the other way around.

A wonderful interview and a delight to watch. Clearly though I am always not satisfied. When I saw the other conversation on Kirby’s channel I left a comment saying the only thing missing was a few cigars being smoked. And here you both are enjoying your Cuban cigars. Now the only missing on this version of the interview is a beautiful woman !! Ha ha I know of course Sonya is behind the camera this time. Thank you both for taking the time to film this delightful and enjoyable meeting of two lovely people on Sartorial Talks. It brightens up a cold January here in the U.K.

Thank you very much Hugo. What an outstanding conversation. Cheers from Madrid! Lots of great tailors here as well. And great wine that I’m aware you and Sonya enjoy. Would be so nice you hear you talk about Spanish garments such as the Teba jacket! Best!

Recently discovered these channels. Love what you do, loving fine wines and cigars (in my price range), wish I could afford to indulge into suits, pens, watches etc. I'll get there but love the content, so very interesting and fun to watch.

Hugo I love your suit !!!!! Impeccable as always.

What a great conversation. Has been following the both of you for some time and I learned more about you today than before. Thank you 🙏

I really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you for producing it and sharing it. Would love to watch a series produced with you and Kirby in Napoli and London!

Great storytelling! Thank you for sharing all these amazing stories and education on bespoke tailoring. Truly inspiring!

Two of my favourites gathered together, it's better then a movies 🍿 cheers guys.

Great seeing the two pioneers together - and having a great discussion as well.

The sartorial message is certainly reaching the four corners of the globe. I attribute it to a general malaise people are experiencing with the world these days. The pushback is real and I believe the movement is just getting started thanks in large part to fine gentleman like you. Sartorial elegance to me represents order structure rationality manners taste tradition and style. Greetings from Newfoundland Canada

Lovely to see Kirby be so honest and open about his journey

Terrific talk. It's so important, I think, to remind folks of the true value of quality + tradition. Fast and disposable are not very nice (as applied to anything, really...) when profit is the sole motive. Also, the way a small idea (style + business) can grow into something wonderful, one tiny step at a time. I proudly wear my dad's cufflinks with his lovely memory in mind. You lost me at tobacco use and shooting animals, but that's just my personal take. A walking tour of Napoli with you two stars would be delicious, I'm sure. Thanks for all you do.

A pleasure listening to two greats together. I´m a follower of both of you. It´s clear to me that we are a niche audience but more than enough to make us happy, and you guys too. Any successful entrepreneurial initiative deserves to be known and in most cases it´s fun to listen. And it always has to do with doing what you love. Agreed, totally countercultural in post covid times. In my personal experience I take some guidelines and ideas from your videos.

very educating! kirby & you are so generous with your time teaching young people learn and appreciate craftsmanship & quality products. - Love from Pakistan

Great video! More conversations like this, I’m learning a lot of you guys. Thanks!

My hometown! So nice to see you two together. This video exceeded expectations. Loved all the story telling.

Kirby! Holy c**p, I had no idea you could be so eloquent I’ve loved your videos on your own channel for years, and I love watching you interview others- but as the subject of an interview, I was unprepared for just how wonderfully you expounded some of your ideas on permanence and the rebound of quality. Maybe You should write a book- your turn of phrase is well honed. Kudos to Hugo for coaxing a marvelous interview out of you

First time seeing this! Awesome story Kirby. Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Love your channel. Planning my first bespoke suit. Thank you!

What a great two gentleman. Really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks.

The important lesson here is about positivity. Believing in one's self, looking to others, and helping the community as a whole. Either of these gentlemen (truest sense of the word) can show how to behave, but to have both together in one hit... parfait! [As a side note: "It was 2005 and no one was going bankrupt"... only a couple of years later...] Thank you very much.

Didn't expect this. Definitely a pleasant suprise.

Cheers, Hugo. Love you and Kirby, and you are prominent in the style section of my library.

I watched Hugo on Kirby’s channel and now I have the pleasure of watching Kirby on Hugo’s channel. Really fascinating content! Hugo, you should introduce Kirby to the brilliance of two young NY tailors, who you profiled in an article in 2019 - Joseph Genuardi and Yosel Tiefenbrun. In the comments section of a couple of recent Kirby videos, he was unfamiliar with these rising master tailors. I have had Joseph make several suits and it has been a fantastic experience. A video with Sven Raphael Schneider, the unrepentant dandy behind the Gentleman’s Gazette, would be good content.

The closing bit about transcendence, faith and beauty is something this world needs right now. Jordan peterson talks about this idea occasionally and his investment in his suit collection and the message it sends during his speeches and how the crowd reciprocate and dresses up.

Full of compelling arguments and cool anecdotes!!Keep up the good work!!

It Is Great That Mister "Hugo Jacomet;" Mentions His Craftsmanship of His "A Parisian Gentleman;" Book. When I Attached Myself To This Book and Drew Artwork Pieces; From Certain Focuses of The Camera Which Stood Out To Me; Namely In Regards To "Lorenzo Cifonelli" and Other Majour Contributours To Sartorialism; I Knew That Not Only One of These Books Were The One For Me; However, There Would Become Several Purchases of The Book Which Were Necessary For Me. I Not Only Had These Books For Myself and My Close Friends; I Even Offered Theme To Several Altars; As Offerings To "The God of Heaven!!!!"

Love Hugo's egalitarian attitude towards conveying style and elegance to everyone.

What a great talk.

Terrific conversation! I look forward very much to watching your series on English/Italian tailoring.

What a great conversation; thank you gentlemen!!

Thank you Hugo for all of the passion you put into sartorial men's wear. BTW the cigar you're smoking happens to be the same tone as your pocket square and eyeglasses!! I'm a 74-year-old Canadian who grew up in a family of women who were expert garment, drapery and upholstery sewers. I didn't have a bought coat until I was 16 as all of my clothes were made by my mother. The quality of fabrics was much much better. In the 1960's my mother and aunt would buy Italian knit suits and high heels to wear to work. The suits cost one months salary and their high heels cost 2 weeks salary. They thought nothing of it as they got very good use of them. But as clothes became cheaper and more plentiful we all started to wear cheaper but more clothes. If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have slowly discovered over the past few years, the number of high-quality men's and women's wear brands, and I wouldn't have discovered the incredible fabrics suitable for suits, coats, dresses, etc. that are available in the UK and Europe. I'm taking a tailoring course and I managed to get high-quality linen from Lithuania that exceed anything the same price as here in Canada. I would say that only 1 in 50-100 people I see when I go out look well-groomed and dressed now. We really need to get back to learning how to dress with more style again regardless of our budget. I've discovered the beautiful shoes that are available for men that start at around $250 USD and go up to thousands of dollars for bespoke. I stare at the beauty of them - the style line, the stitching, the patinas, the laces, the mix of materials, and then the socks available that complete the look of the shoes and outfit! And I'm a female! I have learned that how men dress doesn't have to be boring or go out of fashion. I now prefer it over the far too many styles, colours, etc. that are available to women, and most of it isn't worth spending money on.

Two ellegant men meet. We must watch and learn. I follow you both, and you are both fantastic

Thank you Hugo and Kirby! I’m 70 years old and I love to watch your channels! Keep up the excellent work and may god bless your vision!

Great to see you two collaborating! Now to get Kirby to offer a silk pocket square in dark burnt orange! (or a burgundy)

I recently discovered Italian fine writing instruments .. I own 7 Montlblanc, including some very high end models.. but the product of Aurora and most especially Monteagrappo are on another level... Italian workmanship is up there with any British or French.

Passion + quality + style + gentlemen .. Thank you for the channel

You both are so awesome, individually and certainly together........ Should definitely do more collaborations...!!!

I love this show due to the fact that i learn a lot fromthis channal

What a wonderful conversation. I had always wondered what the hanger project was when I could only associate Kirby with his Saphir shoe care videos (which I totally loved and watched over and over) to take care of my beautiful Altan Bottier, JMLegazel and Caulaincourt French shoes!!!

Love it, two connoisseurs of style getting together discussing style

Hello, Mr. Jacomet and Mr. Allison! What a delight to see you together! I always enjoy listening to chats between fellow youtubers. It was interesting to learn about how you discovered your passions and how YHVH opened up opportunities for you and your wives towards successfully fashioning a career out of those passions. A big smile came across my face as your (Mr. Allison's) testimony unfolded. And if I recall correctly, now a day later, I couldn't help but smile throughout most (all?) of the video. May Yah continue to bless you and your families. Warm regards, Nicole B.

Thanks Kirby and Hugo for this good video!

Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed the video

What a great conversation. Such a pleasure to listen to.

39:52 it turned emotional for me what I use now from my grandfathers silk ties, pocket squares and cashmere scarf and sweater etc. it’s just memories and appreciation 😢 I hope people can enjoy and love the small things in life ❤

Thank you both for the conversation

Can't wait to see your collaboration on Netflix, or what ever platform it happens to be shown on.

Yes, it's not about money, it's about values. We can all find truth and beauty around us, everyday. Even if we can't all afford bespoke clothing, we can all dress nice, if we value it. Little luxuries can be found everywhere.

Great story from Kirby, he was a pioneer in some aspects for sure!

Hugo, looking forward to meeting you and Sonia at Enricos in N Georgia, Cheers.
